It's a very different idea indeed. Even though you are very angry that people don't perceive it with their magnificent acting, I liked the way it was handled.

The idea is good, but the handling of the event was not pleasant.

The very idea of the film, in my opinion, is very entertaining. Imagine a world in which everything exists in the order of straightforward truth - all actions are "seams out" and "truth-womb" in the face without the slightest ethical standards. From the outside it looks so absurd that sometimes you think, is it really funny or more sad?
However, the implementation of the idea is rather weak. There are many nuances in this "world of truth" that raise questions. For example, the unconditional subordination of people is not clear if you oppose their truth to yours. It is not clear why it was the main character who invented the lie, and what is more, in such an ordinary situation, that it is not clear why this did not happen to anyone else. It is not clear why, when a hero openly shows others what a lie is and how to reap its benefits, no one really knows how it works.
And the most important thing that I didn’t like was the thought that the truth makes people dumb, boring and lonely. Wasn't it possible to write an interesting story without pouring three boxes into it? Is it really equated to a lie to keep silent about the truth? Why is the truth in this film and some kind of "diarrhea of speech" interrelated things? And everything would be fine if it was presented in a pure comedic vein, but in the drawn-out dialogues of the heroes there is an undisguised edification. On the one hand, they wanted to show satire on our society, but showed unjustified moralizing with a fantasy wrapper.

The idea was very good, but there was a logic error in the movie that bothered me. It's okay to lie, but why is everyone just saying what's on their mind? There is no option to shut up in the movie. I guess they thought it would be funny for a girl to say she was wanking.
